Okay Al G, time to really test you.

You should be able to get this one without too much trouble, year and model.





But what I really need to know is the very unique mechanical feature of this special Bentley estate.

Yes I know there is no surfboard.....but the car looks nice :)



Yes, the car is nice, and the lady is very nice too, kinda like Janice Joplin, and that dog is also very nice, the best dog we ever owned was a Japanese Spitz, just like that one. Great companions, but not so good if you really like to wear a lot of black

Spot on with the Buick, but if you had got the Bentley, I would have been absolutely gob smacked. It's from a specialist maker and only 9 were done, it's 4WD, but done a very unusual way, here's the short write up.

"Your Bentley not fancy enough? Wagonize it! This is pretty much the gist of the idea behind Robert Jankel’s Val d’Isere series: making something special, custom, exclusive…however not necessarily in good taste. Between 1990 and 1992, nine (only nine…they were that expensive!) of these were made and every bit of them was tailored to their new owner’s needs and desires. So, if you wished, you could have your Turbo R Bentley estate in this bitchin’ yellow for instance with interiors to match (you can check out the early 90’s McDonald’s like upholstery scheme here). One of the really special things about the Val d’Isere estates was the optional 4 wheel drive system. The Turbo R is originally rear wheel drive but Jankel came up with the all wheel drive option in order to make the Val d’Isere fit to take on a challenge or two. Both front wheels had their own hydraulic motors; these would shut down when the car’s speed climbed above 30 mph; pretty ingenious huh?"

Both were from this site
